The first high-end laptop that respects your freedom and privacy.

The Librem 13 laptops are shipping!

We began shipping Librem 13 units on Thursday, October 15th, 2015. A date that we are extremely proud of, it takes a lot to pull all this together, and now we can move onto execution of delivery across all the orders.

Our work on Coreboot and testing the CPU fuses for a potential future with a freed ME are continuing, but neither will be finished prior to shipment, therefore we will be offering the option of receiving a non-free AMI BIOS with your hardware now, that can add coreboot later (through a software update, flashrom), or to wait until we have coreboot added by default.

PureOS 2.0 release hit a delay when our second developer had a medical emergency last week. This was the backup to the lead developer who has also been on medical leave. So we took to the Debian jobs mailing list, and got an immediate fill-in, and a lot of additional interest in filling out our staff on the PureOS 2.0 side. Lesson learned, when you are on your redundant backup, get a tertiary backup ready.

We are still waiting on the printing of our logo on the keycap for the super key, so will be shipping units with a blank super key until we get our logo on them. This is a lower priority for us right now.
